The summer solstice marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and occurs around June 20th or 21st. It is unique because it is the only day that the sun reaches its highest point in the sky and is directly overhead at noon for those living at the Tropic of Cancer. It is a time of celebration and has been marked by many cultures throughout history.
